Upon seeing her boyfriend’s surprised expression, Tina explained, “Baby, it’s election year this year. President Paul doesn’t have the courage to be crazy, but it’s this crazy world situation that’s changing too fast, forcing the government to have no choice but to constantly adjust their policies as the situation changes. The Noah World is the new foreign world that emerged on Earth when the world’s gate opened last time. It’s located in the desert of New Mexico and was said to have been first discovered by several illegal Mexican immigrants. The news reported that the overall environment is similar to the Middle East and its four continents are deserts with relatively bad living conditions. However, many large oases can be found in the desert and the largest oasis has an area far larger than New York’s metropolitan area. More importantly, there’s no native intelligent creatures nor those strange supernatural beasts there…”
“No native intelligent creatures nor strange supernatural beasts? So you mean the US country can occupy that world without the need to launch any war?!” Zhang Lisheng’s eyes went wide as he interjected.
“Yes, baby. This is the reason why the federal government gave up on Shrimp World No. 1 that already has multiple immigrant foundations and launched the Noah Project. Right now, the introduction of this Noah World is everywhere. There are already more than 20 satellites flying in orbit there. The communication system has been set up in the first 24 immigrant oases that have been selected and even the roads connecting the oases have started their construction. Such an urgent preparation makes me think that the government’s think tank may also have speculated about the Colossal World. The Noah World is probably the ‘Ark’ prepared by the federal government. With its existence, by the time all of the foreign worlds open up and divide the Earth into thousands of pieces, the US people will still feel that our own country is still one whole entity, for they can immigrate to Noah World if they’re willing to.”
“Isn’t this just a psychological effect?”
“You’re right, Lisheng. But isn’t the sense of identity of a country and a nation a kind of psychological effect too?” Trish suddenly chimed in. “More importantly, with the continuous development of this Noah World, they can also maintain its strong national strength and will not decline.”
Zhang Lisheng became silent for a moment before replying with a shrug. “You’re right, Trish, but by the time all foreign worlds open up, it would also be unlikely for the US to stay a complete and safe world forever.”
“By then, even if the US can’t have Noah World to herself, she, who has taken the first lead, will long have taken enough land, just like what is sung in the national anthem, ‘God bless America’!” Trish replied with a smile.
“Oh, a country’s fate that’s obtained through luck would not be able to last long,” Zhang Lisheng curled his lips. “However, the US is indeed too lucky! To think that she actually obtained such a ‘huge steak’. Even though it’s not too juicy and delicious, it’s still much better than my painstaking effort of gnawing the bone bit by bit.”
“You’re right, but you’ll need to invest enough effort if you want to eat this steak. For this reason, the federal government has concentrated their entire attention onto this Noah World. I’m afraid your plan of making Shrimp B1 Island into the 51st state may have to be temporarily put on hold, baby,” Upon hearing the young man’s words, Tina, who was sitting next to him, said regrettably.
“Why? These two things are not contradictory to each other!”
“It’s not contradictory to each other on the surface but at a deeper level, the immigration of the entire US citizen population will certainly change the basic nation state system involved in the US Constitution, between the state and the federal government, between the state and the Supreme Court, between the federal government and the Supreme Court, between the Congress and the state government, between the Congress and the federal government…” Tina explained.
“Okay, I understand now. So it’s a political game? It’s already so chaotic and of course nobody would be willing to take in another member to join in the battle,” the young man sighed and interrupted his girlfriend’s words. “It’s alright. My plan of conquering the Hellfire Archipelago is making progress now so it doesn’t matter even if Shrimp B1 Island cannot become the 51st state of the United States… But let’s talk about immigration. The federal government can’t just move all the universities, factories, research institutes from the elite areas like New York and Boston, can they?”
“It’s not possible in the near future, but dear, as far as I know, 40% of Boston’s universities have decided to open a branch campus in Noah World. It’s not impossible for all of them to be entirely moved there in the future. After all, the first condition of becoming a University City is safety. And right now, people have already started to feel scared living in Boston!” Upon seeing Zhang Lisheng’s unsatisfied expression, Sheila added.
“Great! Just move the entire US there!” Zhang Lisheng frowned and chowed down on his roast goose while making his remark unhappily. “Tina, didn’t you say that Noah World is a desert and that we can only build cities in the oases? In that case, the Congress will definitely enact a more stringent Environmental Protection Act, and my slaughterhouse can make more money!”
“That’s indeed great, baby! Right now, all of the big companies in the US are going crazy wanting to enter the Noah World. The situation is even more exaggerated unlike when they entered Shrimp B1 Island. When it comes to prospects, your LS Group should be very…”
“Oh Tina, can’t you tell that I’m being sarcastic? I now possess a river flowing with gold that can allow me to buy an entire Wall Street and I’ll soon conquer hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land so what’s LS’ expansion to me? What I want is to get my hands on Boston’s universities and research institutes and the textile, machinery, printing, and chemical industries in the satellite cities around New York…”
“Baby, even if you have a golden river than can buy the entire universe, it’ll still be equal to zero if you can’t use it. As for the universities, research institutes and industrial companies that you covet, well…tell me, which of them can’t be bought after you’ve managed the LS Slaughterhouse properly?” Tina interrupted the young man’s blabbering complaints.
Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a while. Then, he burst into a chuckle and shook his head. “Tina, I was planning to bring you, Tina and Sheila to reason but in the end, the three of you were the ones who gave me a rude awakening. Sometimes, a human brain can indeed become slow and unable to get around after staying in an environment where everybody praises and worships your greatness and holiness.”
“Well, it’s good that you can get around now, Lisheng.” Sheila smiled opposite him. “The rain is stopping soon. We’re expecting you to drive us to the bar later so your brain cannot be too slow!”
“Oh Sheila, since Lisheng is here, can I not go to the bar?” Upon hearing the girl’s words, Tina asked.
“Miss Tina Douglin, the ‘we’ that I mentioned means my dear lovely sister Trish and me. You don’t have to be too self-sentimental and just go enjoy your romance with your ‘baby’! I hope you twist your hip bone today!” Sheila said wickedly.
“Sheila, I know that it’s sisters’ day today but we have been together lately everyday so aren’t they considered as sisters’ days already?” When Tina heard her best friend’s curse, she did not refute but guiltily replied instead. “Alright, alright! I’ll unconditionally allow you and Trish to order me around for one whole day after the semester reopens okay?”
“Really?” Sheila and Trish chuckled and asked in unison.
“Of course! Even though I’m kinda regretting already now.” When Tina finished her sentence, the rain falling in the sky just so happened to come to an abrupt end. At this moment, Zhang Lisheng had also finished eating his three sets of meals and so he left the restaurants with the three girls.
The four of them entered the Mercedes-Benz SUV, and the young man started the car engine. After sending Sheila and Trish to a nearby bar and watched them disappear into it, he asked, “Where shall we go now, Tina?”
“I need to be back at home by 12am. I’m okay with going anywhere before that, oh charming Mr. Asian.” The girl sitting at the co-driver seat stretched her long beautiful neck and blew warm air at Zhang Lisheng’s ears before gently nibbling his ears and whispering.
“Then let’s go to a carpark nearby. It takes the shortest time to go there and the car has enough space anyway. Besides, after we ‘relax ourselves’, we can conveniently go to the ‘artificial hot spring’ and then watch a movie…”
“There’s no need for explanation, baby. Am I an old-fashioned, boring girl to you? I’ve said already, I’m okay with anywhere you bring me,” Tina interrupted the young man’s words and gently placed a hand between his legs. Stroking it, she said, “I still remember the first time we slept together was on an SUV as well. At that time, you body was not as strong as it was now and when I put the ‘small banana’ in my mouth, it only took me a while to squeeze its juice out. I’ll try to see whether I can squeeze its juice out again today after I turn it into a ‘big banana’…”
Zhang Lisheng was unable to resist the girl’s hot and blatant suggestion. Colors rose to his cheeks as he silently stepped on the gas pedal and turned the car to the corner of the nearest parking lot.
After the couple, who had not seen each other for a long time, united, a fiery ‘battle’ ensued naturally. After a bout of passion, Tina slumped softly on the seat and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, with a tinge of anticipation in her tone, “How was that, baby? Did you feel anything different this time?”
“What?” Zhang Lisheng transformed using the wyrmdragon’s transformation power and gathered up moist water vapor to rub their bodies and asked in confusion.
“Experts have reported that using some intense language stimulation before sex can lead to a faster and better climax. If one party cannot satisfy the other, he or she can also use many techniques to make the other party reach their climax. I’ve tried it today and I feel that it worked pretty well. At the very least, I’m still awake after our little sexy escapade. Do you feel anything different from before?”
Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a while. hastily, he nodded, “O-Of course. Yeah, I-I feel much relaxed today. It’s really great…”
Upon hearing his words, Tina sighed in disappointment instead. “I can tell that you’re lying by looking at you. Actually, you’ve told me before that after you’ve gained the transformation power, you can last and have sex the entire night but I still would want to try it. I hope to be a qualified girlfriend of yours. Your usual life is too stressful and dangerous, baby, so I hope you can relax and be happy when you’re with me…”
